JMT Trip, Hiking From: |
| Hi I'm Kevin Aston, I have made two attempts to hike the trail, but had to exit in 2006 with my hiking buddy having hurt his back, and in 2007 with me having hurt my back. I plan on finishing the stretch from over Piute pass to the portal in 2008. Each of us when we hurt our backs we were 52 years old. None of us will be 52 in 2008, so we can get it done. |
| We exited in 2006 from Vermilion, and in 2007 over Piute Pass. That is where we exited, and by the time we got out I was feeling like I blew it and should have finished the hike, but it was to late. I have had two back surgeries, including L4-L5, and L5-S1 in 1997, L2-L3, and a neck fusion joining C5-6-7 in 2005. In in some ways it is amazing that I can do this at all. We will be entering the North Lake trail head the 6th of July. Our plan is to exit the Portal on the 18th. Hope to see some of you there. Enjoy the pictures of my trips with the other links.
